reaching an electricity system which is both economically efficient and environmentally friendly is motivating countries to design and execute different types of tou demand response programs. but there are certain deficiencies which prevent these programs to effectively modify the load shape. smart grid as a means could help the electricity system to reach the highest demand side management ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a two-tier DBMS for handling massive data and providing faster response time. In the present day, the main requirements of DBMS are figured out using two aspects. The first is handling large amounts of data. And the second is providing fast response time. But in fact, Traditional DBMS cannot fulfill both the requirements. The disk-oriented D...

Objective: Most previous retrospective studies failed to show a consistent association between pre-hospital time intervals and mortality in trauma patients, bringing the recommendation of “transport fast to increase survival” under question. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of response time, scene time, and transport time with 24-hour in-hospital mortality....

Well-aligned Cu-doped ZnO nanorods were successfully synthesized on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using chemical bath deposition method. The structural and optical properties of Cu-doped ZnO nanorods were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy...

Many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. Boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. The major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. Conventional controller p...

in this work, a novel electrochemical technique is presented for determination of bentazonusing a nanocomposite based sensor and continuous coulometric fast fourier transformation cyclicvoltammetry (ccfftcv). in this method, the sensor response is in coulomb and is calculated based onintegrating charge changes under the current voltammogram in selected potential range. the new sensor wasconstru...

a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane based on a new a-dioxime derivative as membrane carrier was prepared andinvestigated as a cr(iii) selective electrode. the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for cr(iii)over a wide concentration range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 x 10-1 m with a slope 19.5+0.5 mv/decade and low detectionlimit of 8.9 x 10-7 m. it has a fast response time < 15 s. the best perfo...
